518. Reuse power (2)
After climbing out of the water, the big turtle raised its head and looked around. This scene was very interesting. The turtle's body was pressed against the beach and its neck stretched hard, just like a head growing in the beach.
Seeing this, Ao Muyang couldn't help laughing: "Hey, this ghost..."
Lu Zhizi kicked him hard and said, "Why are you doing this now? Will you suffocate to death if you don't say rogue words?"
Ao Muyang said angrily: "No, what I want to say is that this ghost-headed and stupid look, why is it like the snake king in the family?"
Li Ji was puzzled: "Yes, what kind of hooligan words are this?"
Lu Zhizi stopped talking, it would be strange if she believed Ao Muyang.
After lying on the shore and watching for more than ten minutes, the turtle finally started to move again and slowly climbed onto the beach.
Seeing this, Li Ji's face turned right and said, "This is a female turtle, it is about to lay eggs!"
As we climbed ashore, the turtle's movements became more clumsy.
It has no claws, only fin-shaped limbs. It is not easy for this thing to crawl with sand. It weighs a lot. After passing by, two wide turtle paths were left on the beach, just like a crawler truck rolling over.
The three of them looked at the scene silently.
The turtle climbed about forty or fifty meters in total, and it took three rests during this period, making Ao Muyang anxious and wished to drag it to the beach.
Finally, the female turtle stopped at the beach of the highlands that could not be flooded.
At this moment, a barking sounded in the distant village.
Li Ji said in surprise: "I'm going to suffer!"
Because of the distance, the dog barking was already very low after it came. Ao Muyang whispered: "Will this scare the female turtle?"
The female turtles before reproduction were particularly cautious. They immediately returned to the sea when there was a slight movement and lights.
Many hunters and some wild animals often wait to catch female turtles that lay eggs on land. Once they are lifted on land, the turtles can only wait for death, so the turtles are particularly vigilant at this time.
Fortunately, the turtle just shrank its head and did not return.
Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We encountered a bold sea turtle. I made a report on turtles laying eggs a few years ago. I have investigated 251 female turtles who went landing. After getting ashore for various reasons, there were 102 who returned to the sea immediately. Of course, they would have to land again sooner or later. The shortest was more than half an hour, and the longest was five or six days!"
Although he did not escape back to the sea, the turtle did not lay eggs immediately, and it looked around there.
Ao Muyang waited for another half an hour, but it still did not lay eggs. Instead, another turtle climbed up, and it seemed that it was also here to prepare for laying eggs. This was the only fun during the boring waiting process.
Li Ji comforted him: "Be patient, turtles are very serious about choosing the egg laying location. They should not only help the hatching of eggs, but also not easily discovered and destroyed by enemies. Therefore, it takes a long time, which takes an average of 95 minutes. But it should be soon, and the time they choose the egg laying location is usually half an hour."
This time they encountered a turtle. It looked around on the shore for an hour, and moved the location many times, but it did not lay eggs.
Of course, it moved very close, climbed out at most two or three meters, and in short, it turned around the place it was selected.
However, the female turtle climbing ashore from behind is brighter and more enjoyable. After finding a place, it started to work hard.
The big turtle first dug a sand hole with its forelimbs bit by bit. After digging for a while, it lies up for a while. Finally, it digs to the depth of the pit which is comparable to its height, and then it stops.
After a while, it lay in the pit, and then the two hind limbs alternately dig a vertical pit under the butt.
Li Ji whispered: "This is the egg pit. The turtle treats everything in his life as the most cautious way to treat this."
Ao Muyang saw this. Although the turtle looked old and clumsy after going ashore, its hind limbs were very agile when digging a hole. When its forelimbs were digging a large cave, it would dig out the sand. When digging the egg hole, its hind paws turned into spoons, scooping out the sand bit by bit, and carefully lifted it up to throw it out of the pit, even throwing it far away.
The turtle before finally started digging holes, and both sea turtles were digging sand. For a moment, the entire beach was apart from the sound of waves slapping the table and the rustling sound of digging sand.
The rest is laying eggs, because their bodies are hidden in the pit, and Ao Muyang and the other two cannot see the eggs they lay.
But the two turtles did choose to lay eggs on the beach. The process was relatively short. At most, the egg laying ended in ten minutes. The turtle raised its head and looked around, and while looking around, he used his hind limbs to bury the egg pit.
Finally, they climbed out of the bunker pit, then used their forelimbs to push the sand to fill the pit, until the beach became flat, the turtles slowly returned to the sea...
At this time, Ao Muyang looked at his phone and it was already 1:30 in the morning!
After a long night, the old man was not sleepy at all.
He stared at the eyes of excitement and said, "Stone hammer, hey, the turtle really spawned here. The green turtle chose the beach outside your village as the spawning place. This is a big discovery!"
As he said that, he asked Lu Zhizi again: "Teacher Xiaolu, how did your video take?"
Lu Zhizi checked the video and said, "There is no problem at all. I used the night scene shooting mode, which is quite clear."
Ao Muyang said: "Let's go back to sleep first, and I'll find someone to protect this place tomorrow."
If Li Ji can help Longtou Village apply for the next turtle nature reserve, it will be of great help to the development of the village's tourism industry.
When he was bored before, he searched online. Currently, there is only one national nature reserve in China, that is, the Louvre City Reserve located at the junction of Daya Bay and Red Bay. It is a member of the International Biosphere Conservation Network and is included in the International Important Wetland List of the Ramsar Convention. The country approves tens of millions of dollars in reserves every year!
The benefits of being the first deputy captain are once again reflected. Ao Muyang contacted the other three deputy captains and formulated a law enforcement team inspection table, and arranged team members to protect the reef and beach every day.
In addition, he must be busy with sea turtles these days and has no time to stare at Wangjia Village.
So he strengthened the law enforcement team's maritime law enforcement efforts, especially arranged a ship to inspect the offshore areas of Longtou Village - Wangjia Village.
His external explanation was that this move was to prevent people from poaching sea turtles from the sea. In fact, he was to make Wangjia Village afraid and dare not send ships to sea to do illegal work.
Wang Youwei naturally disagreed. He was also a deputy captain, but this was useless. Ao Muyang directly moved out the two big Buddhas, Dai Zongxi and Su Jinnan.
Dai Zongxi approved the law enforcement team to protect the habitat of sea turtles. After all, this is a big deal for the entire Hongyang. Su Jinnan arranged for the coast guard to come to the waters outside the village to cooperate with the law enforcement, because Ao Muyang told him that Wangjia Village might have participated in smuggling activities.
